Default $11: Stop&Go the wrong way ?

My thoughts:
I want to be headup against pusher. Villain in MP1 is (probably) not going to fold if I push preflop. So I stop&go... I suck ?

PartyPoker Regular Tournament, Big Blind is t400 (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1076)
UTG+1 (t2420)
MP1 (t3188)
CO (t3206)
Button (t3635)
SB (t4030)
Hero (t2445)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t1076</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, MP1 calls t1076, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>,Hero calls t676

Flop: (t2828) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t1369</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>

If you think you are ahead of their ranges, push. If you think you are behind, fold.

You want to see all five card with AQ, so a stop n go is no good here.

Well if he is gaining Folding Equity that he does not have preflop (as OP said), how can it be wrong, really ?

I am not saying the S&amp;G is the best thing here but the "5 cards" stuff is not enough for not considering it, me thinks.

Indeed, this certainly isn't the worst stop-and-go I've ever seen. That said, you still have FE pre-flop (quite a bit I'd think) and are obviously crushing UTG's range, and your hand is just a little too strong to s-n-g here, so I'd push. It's not a bad spot though.

Personally in this spot I don't care all that much about FE. MP1 called what is essentially a min raise. So, I think for one you have lots of FE preflop and second, you're ahead of his range so push and get called by a worse hand.
